Traditional values meet the latest technology to deliver exceptionally high performance to all our customers

Our core values are the same today as they were in 1971 when the company was first formed.

Formara (the Company behind Print4London.com) was formed by two gentlemen, one working with Ford and the other Marconi – these came together to form the name Formara. I think the A was to give it a slight exotic appeal!

Formara has grown to now employ over fifty staff in a modern, well equipped factory close to the main transport links to London. The past ten years have seen the most rapid changes in technology. Formara have driven the business forward by embracing these advances and making them work for our customers.
